Dubbo Admin

中文说明

Dubbo Admin is a console for better visualization of Dubbo services, it provides fully support for Dubbo3 and is compatible with 2.7.x, 2.6.x and 2.5.x.

1 Quick start

There are 4 methods to run Dubbo Admin in production:

1. Run With Helm (Recommended)
2. Run With Kubernetes
3. Run With Docker
4. Run From Source Code

You can choose any of the above methods to run Admin based on your environment. Helm is recommended if your plan to run Admin in a Kubernetes cluster because it will have all the dependencies managed with only one command.

1.1 Run With Helm

There are two ways to deploy Dubbo Admin with helm depending on how you get the helm chart resources, both of them have the same effect.

1.1.1 Run from helm chart sources

1. Get helm chart sources

Clone the Dubbo Admin repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-admin.git

From the repo's root directory, change your working directory to deploy/helm/dubbo-admin

$ cd /dubbo-admin/deploy/helm/dubbo-admin

2. Install helm chart

$ helm install dubbo-admin .

Or, if you need to customize the configuration Admin uses to let it connecting to the real registries or configuration centers, specify a customized configuration file using the -f helm option, for example, the following value file specifies registry, config-center and metadata addresses:

Content of properties.xml:

properties: |
  admin.registry.address=zookeeper://30.221.144.85:2181
  admin.config-center=zookeeper://30.221.144.85:2181
  admin.metadata-report.address=zookeeper://30.221.144.85:2181

zookeeper://30.221.144.85:2181 should be a real address that is accessible from inside the kubernetes cluster.

$ helm install dubbo-admin -f properties.yaml .

The values specified in properties will override those in application.properties of the Admin image. Despite properties, you can also set other values defined by Dubbo Admin helm.

3. Visit Dubbo Admin

Dubbo Admin should now has been successfully installed, run the following command:

$ kubectl --namespace default port-forward service/dubbo-admin 38080:38080

Or, you can choose to follow the command instructions from the helm installation process, it should be similar to the following:

export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=dubbo-admin,app.kubernetes.io/instance=dubbo-admin" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
export CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace default $POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:38080 to use your application"
kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 38080:$CONTAINER_PORT

Open browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:38080, default username and password are root

1.1.2 Run from helm chart repository

1. Add helm chart repository (Currently not available)

$ helm repo add dubbo-charts https://dubbo.apache.org/dubbo-charts
$ helm repo update

2. Install helm chart

$ helm install dubbo-admin dubbo-charts/dubbo-admin

Check the corresponding chapter in 1.1.1 Run from helm chart sources to see how to customize helm value.

$ helm install dubbo-admin -f properties.yaml dubbo-charts/dubbo-admin

3. Visit Dubbo Admin

Dubbo Admin should now has been successfully installed, run the following command:

$ kubectl --namespace default port-forward service/dubbo-admin 38080:38080

Open browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:38080, default username and password are root

1.2 Run With Kubernetes

1. Get Kubernetes manifests

$ git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-admin.git

All we need from this step is the Admin kubernetes manifests in deploy/k8s

But before you can apply the manifests, override the default value defined in application.properties by adding items in configmap.yaml.

$ cd /dubbo-admin/deploy/k8s

2. Deploy Dubbo Admin

# Change configuration in ./deploy/application.yml before apply if necessary
$ kubectl apply -f ./

3. Visit Admin

$ kubectl port-forward service dubbo-admin 38080:38080

Open web browser and visit http://localhost:38080, default username and password are root

1.3 Run With Docker

The prebuilt docker image is hosted at: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/apache/dubbo-admin

You can run the image directly by mounting a volume from the host that contains an application.properties file with the accessible registry and config-center addresses specified.

$ docker run -it --rm -v /the/host/path/containing/properties:/config -p 38080:38080 apache/dubbo-admin

Replace /the/host/path/containing/properties with the actual host path (must be an absolute path) that points to a directory containing application.properties.

Open web browser and visit http://localhost:38080, default username and password are root

1.4 Compile From Source

1. Clone source code on develop branch git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-admin.git
2. Specify registry address in dubbo-admin-server/src/main/resources/application.properties
3. Build
   • mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
4. Start
   • mvn --projects dubbo-admin-server spring-boot:run OR
   • cd dubbo-admin-distribution/target; java -jar dubbo-admin-0.1.jar
5. Visit http://localhost:38080, default username and password are root
